Scotland is encouraging tourists to display green T plates on their cars after a series of fatal accidents caused by people driving on the wrong side of the road or being unfamiliar with local roads?

Now living in a tourist area I kind of get it, we've all been stuck behind a French driver doing half the speed limit or been cut up by a German using the wrong lane at a roundabout, not to mention the English who think touring a caravan gives them right of way.

But would T plates stop driving on the wrong side? Would T plates set you up as a target for criminals? Or make the police keep an eye on you knowing you're likely to break a driving law? Why is a tourist any different to a native who's unfamiliar with that particular road?

At the moment they're just "suggested" but do you think they should be law?

So to begin with I felt kinda sorry for him because he was in a car accident, ended up partially paralysed and his wife left him.

However, he later told me he’d had at least two other accidents where he’d been driving about 100mph. The 3rd one happened because he hit a tree driving at 120mph, which caused him to be wheelchair bound. This was just after the birth of his 4th child about 4 years ago. So immediately I just think it’s selfish that you’d risk your life like that knowing you have a wife and 4 children that you could potentially leave behind.

Now he’s in the process of divorce, he’s told me all about how she’s been toxic and deliberately damaged his car a few times. He also told me she’d said she wishes he’d died in the accident one of the times they were arguing. And she also voiced she wished she could sleep with a celebrity. She also told him that one of their kids wasn’t his.

For me, all of that immediately then put me off because it sounds like there’s been toxicity in that relationship, but I wonder if he put so much pressure on her that she snapped. I’ve tried to suggest that he should work things out with her as they were together 17 years and I think she maybe had attempted to fix things at one point, but he was too stubborn. He’s now adamant he’s ‘moved on’ and is wanting to date me, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a ploy to rub things in her face and get back at her.
